Homeownership Program

Our homeownership program empowers working individuals and families to build and buy their own homes. We partner with our future homeowners every step of the way, and provide the education and support needed to become successful homeowners.

Future Habitat homeowners purchase their homes with an affordable zero-percent interest mortgage. Their mortgage payments vary based on income and includes principal, taxes, property insurance, and, if applicable, condominium fee. Future homeowners also pay a pre-closing deposit of $1,500.

What We Are Building

Shepherd's Village Georgetown

In 2020, Habitat for Humanity of Williamson County used individual donations and grant funding to purchase a 1-acre lot between 21st and 22nd Streets in southeast Georgetown. A 12-home development called Shepherd’s Village will be built upon this lot and will include one- and two-story townhomes. This neighborhood will be accessible to families making less than 80% of the median income in Georgetown; a place where families will build strong, stable futures.

To honor the family who contributed the largest portion of the purchase price of the land, this development was named “Shepherd’s Village.” Special recognition is made to Dr. and Mrs. James Shepherd for making the contribution in memory of their son Stephen who was active in his community and helped many people as his parents taught him. The Shepherds have lived, worked, helped their neighbors, and made contributions to many worthwhile organizations in Georgetown for many years.

“Shepherd” also honors our Christian roots, by recognizing our calling to care for all our neighbors as Jesus cared for his disciples in His time and each of us today. All who desire to be a part of this work are welcome, regardless of race or religion.

Thank you to our Shepherd's Village Partners
